There are two Atrioventricular Valves in the heart. The first one, on the right side of the heart, is called the Tricuspid Valve (it has three 'flaps'). On the left side, the Atrioventricular Valve is called the Bicuspid or Mitral Valve (it has two 'flaps')

This is the valve in between the Artrium and the ventricle on the right side of the heart. It is also commonly known as the Mitral valve, or one of the artio-ventricular valves (the other being a tricuspid valve on the left side of the heart).
These are the valves of the human heart. The bicuspid (or mitral) valves each have two large flaps, curved to close the rear entrance of a chamber, through which blood enters. The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium and the right ventricle. It normally has three flaps but may have two or even four flaps, and this can change with age.
The Mitral valve.
There are four valves in the human heart. They are the:1. Tricuspid valve2. Pulmonary valve3. Mitral valve ( also known as bicuspid valve)4. Aortic valve
The AV or atrioventricular valves are the valves which separate the upper chambers (the atria) from the lower chambers (ventricles) of the heart. The AV valve on the left side of the heart is known as the left atrioventricular (AV) valve or the mitral valve. The AV valve on the right side of the heart is known as the right atrioventricular (AV) valve or the tricuspid valve.
